You’re Invited to the Launch Party for Book 7 in the Zaria Fierce Series!

By

Join me for an evening to celebrate the book birthday of Christoffer Johansen and the Return to Jötunheim.

There will be games:

  • Seriously Fierce Scavenger “Wild” Hunt – You can start anytime on the quest as I’ve posted it in anticipation of the event. This gives everyone plenty of time to do it!
  • Seriously Fierce Live Trivia Event – Play from your phone, computer, or tablet. It’s super fun and easy to do. Be sure to use a name that I can recognize and is all ages friendly. The highest scoring individual wins a prize!
  • Seriously Fierce Book Bingo – Go ahead and grab your bingo card early. Print it out or play online. Make a note of the card number as it will be used to verify your card. The individual to call Bingo wins a prize!

There will be a live reading from the book.

There will be time for questions and answers.

At some point it’s basically guaranteed that there will be a dog stealing the show. Oskar is a cutie. If you see him give a shout!

The event is hosted live on Facebook and will be posted to YouTube for replay for anyone who misses the evening. So pop the popcorn, grab a drink, wearing your fuzzy socks, and comfy pj’s and let’s have a party!

You’re Invited to Aleks’ Book Birthday!

By

It is with great pleasure and joy that I tell you Aleks Mickelsen and the Eighth Fox Throne War releases on May 24, 2019. I hope you’re as excited as I am! Do you see this gorgeous cover? Isn’t it lovely?

What wonderful things can we we expect from Aleks and the rest of the gang? Plenty of action that’s for sure! But also history about the remaining undisclosed fox throne wars. You’ll meet a certain winterling’s general father and have an new/old friend pop by unexpectedly. Dragon machinations and powers heretofore hinted are seen in full force and our changeling hero must face destiny square in the face and decide which path he will choose. 

You can pre-order the ebook on Amazon:https://amzn.to/2WhGQee

The print book will also be available to purchase on Friday.

The audio book is in production and will be coming out within the next month or two and you’re going to love it.

Join me this Thursday evening at 10:30 PM EST on the Zaria Fierce Facebook page for a late night launch party event to celebrate the release of Aleks Mickelsen and the Eighth Fox Throne War. There will be trivia, bingo, prizes, readings from the book, and a question and answer session. It’s going to be so much fun!

Date: May 23, 2019
Time: 10:30 PM – 12 AM
Where: Online, Zaria Fierce Facebook page

Zaria Fierce Book Talk: Melbourne Public Library 7-13-16

By

I had a great time at my book talk today sharing an excerpt from Zaria Fierce and the Dragon Keeper’s Golden Shoes. The kids were great and had a lot of good questions, good interactions, and really paid attention. I’m so glad I got to meet them.

Things we learned today from the Melbourne Public Library reading:

  • How many animals make up a winter-wyvern.
  • How many animals make up a water-wyvern.
  • What an enraged water-wyvern sounds like as it roars.
  • What a water-wyvern sounds like when it’s been shrunk.

Questions for you:
If you could create your own hybrid creature, what would it be? And, can you make those water-wyvern sounds?

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing everyone!

Book Signing and Author Reading Event: New York City, April 11, 2016

Great news! I’m scheduled to appear on April 11, 2016 at the Queens Library/Corona Community Library, where I’ll be doing an author reading and book signing event. Please join me at 3:30 PM for an hour of fantasy-filled fun. I’m told parking can be tough so plan ahead.

You can click on the flyer image to print out a copy for your fridge and to color. If you do, bring it to the event. I’d love to see your finished masterpieces. There should also be some additional coloring pages available at the library. You can find these same coloring pages on my website if you would like to print at home.

I will be reading from Zaria Fierce and the Secret of Gloomwood Forest, the first book in the Zaria Fierce Trilogy. After the reading there will be time for a Q&A session where you can ask me questions about the book, writing, publishing, and more. Copies of both books will be on hand for purchase. I hope to see you there!
